I thought President Obama was reasoned, patient and presidential during the first debate

It was confusing to watch Romney as he changed positions (again) multiple times and seemed unhinged and arrogant.

Yes he was animated but not in a "good" way that would inspire confidence.

It was clearly Obama.

Romney seemed alittle crazed and desperate.
....and Romney's constant smirking drove me nuts.

that the candidate at the debates tonight was not the same candidate running for the last 6-8 months. I think RMoney managed to alienate some of his base tonight.
